I can't believe Tony hasn't posted this one yet...  I laughed all night after this happened...  best laugh ever.

Tony would always have a character that out ranked me.  He would always want to duel me as well.  So I would appease him and duel him...  him winning every time.  Resulting in me bowing down to him.

We had started characters on another realm...  horde I believe (not too sure anymore) but my character was superior to his character by a little bit.  We were in a village with a bonfire in the middle of it.  Standing next to the bonfire, I challenged him to a duel and he accepted.  Finally I defeated him.  After bowing down to me, Tony backed his character into the fire and BAM!  Immediately dead.  "WTF happened?!"   LOL!!!   It all happened so fast...  Best victory ever!!!

I can't tell you how many times I died out front of orgrimmar on my orc warrior.  I'd lose a duel and then get one-shot by some level 6 durotar pig that aggro'd on me when I demo shouted or something equally stupid lol.

My newb stories:  First character I ever rolled was a dwarf pally.  I played diablo 2 prior to this, where you have to manually click for each attack.  you wear out mice playing that game.  So naturally I start spam right clicking on my targets and turning autoattack on and off.  As a pally that's your only damaging move to start out with, so I kept dying to level 2-3 troggs.  I decided that paladins suck, and rerolled a warrior.  Back in the early days warriors had some retarded miss chance, like 25% miss with a two hander.  I made it to level 8.  "Warriors suck!".  Rerolled druid.  Specced balance because it's the first talent tree tab.  Didn't see the other ones.  My attack rotation was:  Starfire, Moonfire, melee with staff.  Only instead of a staff I used Gubber Blump's fishing pole because it had the highest dps I could find.  I would cast healing touch at 50% because the spell pushback meant I would get it off just in time.  It took me three months to hit level 30.

Savage -> WoW was not a good transition.  Auto attack sucked... I'm glad Panz discovered how it worked and was able to set me straight.

Heh, I did the same thing going from Diablo 2 and NWN to WoW - when I started playing I had the same bad habits Panz and un4 had and clicked constantly at the little auto-attack icon until my boyfriend asked me what I was doing and put a stop to it. >.<

good thing you had a man to put you straight Fie!  Some women just can't do things for themselves!  :laugh:

Okay, WoW was my very first MMO and my first computer game period! I'd played things like Harvest Moon and Zelda but nothing else.  It took me (with a couple breaks thrown in) two years to level my mage to 80, hitting 70 just before Wrath of the Lich King came out.

1. I had no idea what was with all the armor and i assumed (since i always seemed to die so easily) that more armor would help me.  I even made a habit of putting armor enchants (which someone had one day randomly given me) on my cloaks.  Thankfully Madden set me straight eventually. 

2. If you've ever leveled a mage you realize that there is a point, as in lvl 69 before you get a new rank of conjure refreshment, where the food just doesn't fill you up as fast.  And as squishy as i was, getting fully health and mana was really important because soon there would be a new mob wanting to kill me. By the time i realized i could conjure food and water it was at that point and i was so frustrated with the slow rate, i refused to use it and only drank vendor food and water for the longest time.  I blew a lot of the money i made on buying food and water (and that was until Madden again set me straight). 

3.  I didn't actually realize i had talent points for a long while, me being especially unobservant.  I ended up around level fifteen or sixteen before someone pointed it out to me.  And then i didn't even understand what i was doing, putting points in.  I ended up levelin with a rather specially spec that amazed Madden. ("how in the heck have you managed to make it to sixty??")  I leveled as frost and it was so slow back then, so much worse than it is now.

I could keep going but it only gets worse because i'm still kind of a noob at this  :-X.

Took a hard lesson today. Didn't really happen in game but still hindered me from playing. Re-formatted my PC to see if maybe I could stop some of the lock up troubles I was having. Well pc is working great, so I went to download the WoW installer. Didn't pay attention just clicked a google link to a battle.net site for the installer and proceeded to let it download half the day. Got it installed, went to play and got a message saying I couldn't log in. Come to find out I downloaded the EU installer and now I get to do it all over again. I guess I am a Huntard even out of WoW lol. Needless to say from now on I will L2Read what I'm downloading and actually log into my account before hand, just in case!
